If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates', then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.
I think leadership is not something you learn; it's something you discover.
There are good leaders who actively guide and bad leaders who actively misguide. Hence, leadership is about persuasion, presentation and people skills.
If leadership is something that is in-your-face, then that is a different type of leadership.
As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.
Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
Always mistrust a subordinate who never finds fault with his superior.
A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.
